THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (SEE TSB 07-76-13R DATED 7/8/2013) REGARDING THE PRG SYSTEM OPERATION AND INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE. IF YOU RECEIVE A CUSTOMER CONCERN OF A BEEPBEEP- BEEP SOUND WHEN TRYING TO OPERATE THE PRG, A LIKELY CAUSE IS AN INCOMPLETE INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE. INITIALIZATION OCCURS ANY TIME THE AUTO CLOSER FUNCTION OPERATES. IT MUST COMPLETE EVERY TIME THE PRG IS OPERATED (CLOSED) IN ORDER FOR THE PRG TO WORK PROPERLY THE NEXT TIME ONE OF THE ACTIVATION SWITCHES IS OPERATED. IF A VOLTAGE DROP OCCURS (E.G. CRANKING THE ENGINE) DURING THE EXACT TIME THIS INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE IS IN PROCESS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE PROCEDURE WILL NOT COMPLETE PROPERLY AND (ALTHOUGH SECURELY CLOSED AND LATCHED) THE PRG SYSTEM WILL BE RENDERED INOPERATIVE. DURING THIS TIME, THE GATE WILL OPERATE MANUALLY HOWEVER THE PRG FUNCTIONS WILL BE DISABLED. IF THE CUSTOMERS NORMAL USAGE PATTERN CREATES THIS CONDITION REGULARLY, A COUNTERMEASURE PRG CONTROL UNIT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO REMEDY IT.

We have good news to report. Forester Carpet Floor Mats are now in production with a new supplier, and we will be shipping product starting next Monday, June 3. Mats will be shipped to every dealer, based on vehicles subject to the recall and based on vehicles sold without mats plus vehicles in dealer inventory. Dealers do not have to order these mats. We fully expect that production and our shipments will be sufficient to cover all of the dealer requirements by mid June. After the dealer needs are met, we will resume shipping Foresters from the ports with mats. Customer notification letters for the recalled units will be mailed early the week of June 3. At that time we will also provide the recall bulletin and claim procedures. Dealers will need to contact their customers who were delivered a car without mats to arrange for installation of the new mats once they have mats in inventory. We ask that dealers prioritize mats for vehicles which have already been sold to customers. We thank you very much for your patience and understanding during this unusual situation.

This is to advise you of the current situation for supply of 2014 Forester Carpet Floor Mats. SOA sincerely appreciates the difficulty that dealers are encountering by not having mats for the new Forester. Please understand that we are taking every possible effort to resolve this problem. Unfortunately, we have been unable to obtain any supply of floor mats from our current supplier, which meet our quality requirements. Therefore, we are re-sourcing these mats from another supplier. Our current expectation is that mats will be available in early to mid June. We also must advise dealers that the use of non-genuine or aftermarket floor mats is not recommended, due to safety concerns. However, SOA does have a limited supply of all weather mats for the 2014 Forester, for dealers that need a solution for a retail customer. These mats can be obtained by contacting the Parts Information Coordinators at 1-866-782-2782.
